diagnosis
Differential diagnosis The male of Synagelides forkiforma can easily be distinguished from all other congeners by the presence of a short spine-shaped prong on the ventral surface of the retrolateral tibial apophysis. The female of S. forkiforma resembles that of S. lushanensis Xie & Yin, 1990 (Xie & Yin 1990: figs 8 – 15) in having an anterior epigynal hood and a pair of lateral arcuated rims, but differs in: 1) epigynal hood is about one-third as long as epigynum in S. forkiforma (Fig. 4 A), whereas about one-fifth as long as epigynum in S. lushanensis (Xie & Yin 1990: fig. 14); 2) median septum is almost triangular in S. forkiforma (Fig. 4 A), whereas trapeziform in S. lushanensis (Xie & Yin 1990: fig. 14).
